And a grand time was had by all! As a result of a resolution made by the Utah Council of Teachers of Mathematics during the Utah Education Association Convention in October, Governor Matheson signed a proclamation on Janthe week of uary 12 making 16-2- 2 "Teacher January Week. The re-- . Appreciation solution reads as follows: Whereas, teaching is the most basic profession of all, underlying and providing background for all other professions, and Whereas, data shows that teachers are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with their jobs, and unhappy Whereas, teachers are less effective teachers, and Whereas, the greatest cause of teacher dissatisfaction. is negative public atti- tudes toward teaching and the second is negative treatment of education by the me- dia, therefore, be it resolved that we, the members of the Utah Council of Teachers of Mathematics request that the Governor of the State of Utah designate the week of January 2 as Teacher Appreciation Week and that during thin week appropriate means and methods of recognizing 16-2- creative and effective teachers be utilized to honor, show respect for, and publicize the value and worth of teachers.

When Edward is 54, his father finally dies and leaves control of the New York Record to him with the stipulation that if Edward does not cause the circulation of the Record to surpass that of the New York Times, control of the newspaper will revert to a corporate group (shades of Jocks will in larger-than-li- page 46 in Different Seasons, 'and. what had begun as an interesting story set in a In something akin to a panic, Armstead decides that the only way to sell newspapers is to create news, not it.

The premises of the stories arent bad, but the promise is not always there. Still and all. King does have a way with words (like an avalanche has a way with snow), and many readers will find even his ponderous writings palatable. Eventually, Armsteads plot is undone by none other than an enterprising woman reporter who is tired of being 'scooped on all of her major stories. There is a somewhat interesting climax in which Air Force One becomes the target of Armsteads next headline, but it is doubtful whether many readers will ever get that far in the book.

Both Cujo and his latest work. Different Seasons, are prime examples of words gone berzerk and I have a feeling that people read these things just to glean the infrequent gems that King is so capable of. providing as in Firestarter, for example.
